A great recipe utilizing delicious Wildtree created/modified over the years by Stephanie Batson.

Heat oil in a large nonstick pan. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic, cook for one more minute. Add the tomatoes, 2tsp Wildtree Taco Powder and then some Taco Sauce to taste. Add red pepper flakes, if you want it a little spicy. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro. Simmer on low until meat mixture is complete.

Add 1/4 cup of Tomato Sauce to the bottom of a greased 9X13 pan. Layer 2-3 tortilla shells on top. Add a cup of meat mixture on top of the tortilla shells, Tomato Sauce on top, then some shredded cheese (as you like). Continue layering until you run out of ingredients. Top with EXTRA shredded cheese and some cilantro.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese is melted! (If you share with a neighbor or friend, then let THEM bake it. It will be perfectly yummy and fresh :)

Assembling multiple trays!

Of course, if you don't like onions or black beans, you can always use peppers with pinto beans--or whatever your family likes! This recipe is very easy, forgiving and you can make quite a few trays quickly.

Invalided home from the Western Front, Arthur Hastings arrives at Styles Court anticipating a relaxing sojourn in the English countryside. It turns out to be anything but. Late one night, Hastings is summoned to the locked bedroom door of Emily Inglethorp, mistress of the manor. A terrible commotion is happening inside, and by the time her family forces the door open it is too late—Emily is in the final, violent throes of strychnine poisoning and nothing can save her.

As fate would have it, Belgium’s most celebrated detective, a refugee from the war, resides in the neighboring village. Hercule Poirot may look, in the words of Hastings, like a “quaint dandyfied little man,” but he possesses one of the finest minds in Europe and an extraordinary flair for solving the most baffling of cases. Half a dozen people—including Alfred, Emily’s much younger second husband; her slacker stepsons, John and Lawrence; and Mary, her beautiful but bored daughter-in-law—had the means and the motive to poison Emily. While Hastings and the rest of Styles Court rush to judgment, Poirot painstakingly sifts through the clues and considers each of the suspects in turn. The answer at which he arrives will shock them all.

Agatha Christie wrote The Mysterious Affair at Styles because her sister wagered that she could not plot a mystery. Not only did Christie win that bet, she created one of the greatest detectives in all of literature and established herself as the undisputed Queen of Crime.

This may seem like an odd choice, and you may be thinking there is NO WAY your child would watch it. My kids LOVE to sit down and watch the show. It is family friendly, teaches about history, and will be fun for families who like to go yard sale-ing and antiquing (we love to go to auctions as a family as well).
